Backstage @ Busardi SS15 LFW

Busardi SS15 was my first show this season at London Fashion Week with the AOFM Pro Team, assisting key artist Annabel Callum. The show was held in the beautiful Dartmouth House in Mayfair. Apart from getting to play with make-up, the other thing I love about my job is getting the opportunity to work at beautiful locations such as this.

We prepped the skin by massaging the face with Charlotte Tilbury’s Multi-Miracle Glow, and then went on to use toner, and finally moisturiser.Foundation was beautiful barely there and dewy. A mix of YSL and Chanel foundations in different shades were used to create the perfect tone for my models skin. After lightly contouring (using a MAC sculpting powders), NARS The Multiple in ‘Copacabana’ was used as a highlight on the cheekbones.

The eyes were the main focus of this look. After covering the lids with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base, we used Illamasqua Liquid Metals. The first colour ‘Pheonomena’ was patted on over the whole lid and also applied under the lower lash line with a pencil brush. The second colour, ‘Surge’, was patted on the centre of the lids, as well as applied to the outer lower corners of the eye, also with a pencil brush. No mascara was used; instead we curled the lashes several times. To complete the look, MAC Lip Erase and Shu Uemera lipstick were patted onto the lips.
